INSIDE the Experience Music Project

Like guitars? Go to the E.M.P in Seattle. Here's why- EVH's stripped Kramer, Jimi Hendrix's rig (2:57) from Woodstock, including his white '68 Stratocaster, down to the strap and flanked by a model 1959 Marshall Super Lead 1/2 stack used at the show!
A chunk of the Monterey Pop burned strat, Plus his hand painted startocaster he smashed at the Seville Theatre in 1967.
A Kurt Cobain smashed strat. (1:55) Guitars from Mudhoney, Soundgarden and the Gits.
Finally start off with a "show room floor" full of classics like a '54 Stratocaster, ancient Jaguars, Les Pauls,and S.G.s...
more than I care to type.
Now go there because they change things up like every 3 days!
Oh yeah - It's their soundtrack.

when i went today i didn't see any of those guitars., they must have been only visiting.

@JohnH216 - Well that's a bummer. Although I believe all the vintage guitars live there full time in the "Guitar Gallery" (a small room on the 2nd floor) EMP says this is a "permanent exhibition w/ over 50 models..." that said,

Go back and demand to see them!

Cool! but where is everyone, is it crowded there??

[lonestone]

yes, but this was a very early Monday morning.

[PopExpo]

Paul Allen has an amazing guitar collection

I went early on a wednesday morning, not many people there. It was awesome.

I just went last summer and got pics of Hendrix' smashed hand painted and His white Strat he used at Woodstock.

Jimi needs to be resurrected.

We need good music.

By the way , the EMP is the best place to go to see rock history on the West coast.
